[QUOTE="Snake Plissken, post: 15098295, member: 81849"] Well, whatever Ford throws in. I know 10 years ago when I bought my current Focus it was a blend. I waited 3,000 and ran synthetic from then on. Yeah, I run Amsoil in my Cobra, good stuff! Thanks for your reply. Why wouldn't you run the catch cans? Oil build-up will rob the motor of power, Ford isn't going to pull the intake off every 10,000 miles and clean the stems. In as little as 7,000 miles these Ecoboost motors with direct injection can get pretty nasty. Yeah, Ford has a warranty, but it only lasts for so long. Preventable maintenance can take you a long way. I don't trade-in every few years. I bought my last daily driver Focus 10 years ago. Again, why wouldn't you run synthetic oil? Synthetic oil gives you better lubrication, better gas mileage, better performance and you can get synthetic that'll go for 15,000 mile change intervals. Plus, if your a 'green freak' it's man made not being sucked out of the earth (some people have problem with that, not me.) Remember too, things like freer-flowing exhaust, CAI's and in this case a better intercooler that makes the charge-air cooler will not only give performance, but better gas mileage 'cause the motor doesn't work as hard. In my case I'll just have to remember to keep my foot out of the go pedal and it'll pay-off. Not that I'm looking for tremendous gas mileage, I wouldn't expect it. BTW, VW is having the same issues with direct injection problems, but from what I've read even worse. [/QUOTE]
